Jaguar yes, that was the easy part. But the rest is unfortunately not right

1936/37 SS Jaguar with bodywork by Tuscher of Switzerland

This was one of a batch of cars and at least 2 survive

Tüscher is right, but I have a slightly younger date. Locked for you to find the right year

The car pictured and from the official Tuscher sales brochure is a car built on an SS Jaguar chassis built between about sept 1936 and sept 1937 and were referred to as 1936 or 1937 model year cars with Jaguar bodywork it would have been the timber framed car. The car shown is of course the 2.5 litre model not the smaller 1.5 litre model
In October 1937 the new all steel bodied SS Jaguars were built and were referred to as 1938, 1939 or 1940 model year cars and tuscher did fit bodywork to these later chassis, at least one of which survives in Switzerland.
The body shape of the 1938/1939/1940 model year chassis cars is totally different.
I can supply the actual chassis numbers of each and every car built if required.
If you are taking info from "Les Metamorphoses du Jaguar" by Urban I supplied just on half the photos for this book and there are some inconsistencies in the text.
I am putting an extremely comprehensive book together on coach-built SS, SS Jaguar and Jaguar cars titled the "A to Z of Coach-built SS and Jaguars cars" it won't include backyard specials but only cars built be recognized coach-builders.
I am the author of several other books on jaguars

Checking the right year, I could find my pic back anymore on the internet, may be the website is down. Anyway my source said the car was from 1939, but it could very well be earlier. So I will award you the point !
